1 Referral fee promotion for FBA: A discounted referral fee will be applied for FBA selection during the promotional period starting September 8, 2021 to August 31, 2022.
If you refund a customer for an order for which you have already received payment, Amazon will refund you the amount of the referral fee you paid for the item(s), minus the applicable Refund Administration Fee, which is the lesser of 15 SAR or 20% of the applicable referral fee.
For example, if you refund a customer the 10.00 SAR total sales price of an item in a category with a 15% referral fee, your Refund Administration Fee will be 0.30 SAR (10.00 SAR x 15% referral fee = 1.50 SAR). More details on Refund Credits and Administration Fees.
